PARDON ME ALAN TURING

Pardon Me Alan Turing

On the 24th December 2013, computer pioneer and codebreaker Alan Turing was given a posthumous royal pardon.

On the 25th May 1895 Oscar Wilde was convicted and sentenced to two years' hard labour for the same crime: gross indecency. But where is his pardon? And where is the pardon for the other seventy-five thousand men convicted under the same law?

An eccentric Alan Turing, a flamboyant Oscar Wilde and their modern day prince, meet across the centuries to ask those very questions. They are joined by a host of other colourful characters in this roller-coaster political comedy with bite. The real question to be asked though, can the slate ever truly be wiped clean?
